Outbound Only Banners
Document #:10503
Applies To:
Synopsis: In MailSite 9.2 and later it is possible to specify banners that are attached to outgoing messages. This setting is useful for appending information such as a legal disclaimer.
More Information:
Only one banner set can be configured per domain. The banner set will be used on all mails sent from a mailbox in that domain. You can optionally tag that the banner set for that domain is "outbound only" rather than for all mail. With this setting, a banner will only be added to mail sent from the domain to different domain. Email sent to other users in the same domain will NOT have a banner inserted. It is not possible to have one set of banners for outbound mail, and another for internal mail.
NOTE: This applies only to virtual domains. Setting a banner on the default domain will result in both incoming and outgoing messages having a banner inserted.
Setting up Outgoing Banners
At the present time there is no graphical user interface for defining these banners, instead it is done through the property mf3_outbound (SQL Connector) or outbound (Registry Setup). If the property’s value is 1, banners are ONLY added to outgoing messages for messages sent from that domain. If the value is 0, banners are added for all messages sent from a mailbox in that domain.
Registry Setup
WARNING!! Incorrectly editing the registry can damage the server, please be sure you know what you are doing
- Define the Banner for the domain(s) in question via the MailSite Console > Domain > Banner Insertion. Remember this must be a virtual domain. Uncheck the option 'Use default banners for this domain' then specific both a plain text and HTML version.
- Open the registry and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Rockliffe\MailSite\Domain\YourDomain.com\Mailfilter3config. Where ‘YourDomain.com is the domain you are setting up a banner for.
- Add a DWORD key called Outbound and set this to 1.
- Restart the services.
SQL Connector
- Define the Banner for the domain(s) in question via the MailSite Console > Domain > Banner Insertion. Remember this must be a virtual domain, uncheck the option 'Use default banners for this domain' then specific both a plain text and HTML version.
- Stop the MailSite services.
- Look up the DomainID for the domain you wish to enable outgoing banners on in the DomainNames table in the SQL database.
- Find this ID in the DomainProperties table and set the property "mf3_outbound" to 1 for this domain.
- Restart the services.
